twitter bootstrap navbar fixed top overlapping site

Question

I am using bootstrap on my site and am having issues with the navbar fixed top. When I am just using the regular navbar, everything is fine. However, when i try to switch it

Answer 1

for Bootstrap 3.+ , I'd use following CSS to fix navbar-fixed-top and the anchor jump overlapped issue based on https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/1768

/* fix fixed-bar */
body { padding-top: 40px; }
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
  body { padding-top: 40px; }
}

/* fix fixed-bar jumping to in-page anchor issue */
*[id]:before { 
  display: block; 
  content: " "; 
  margin-top: -75px; 
  height: 75px; 
  visibility: hidden; 
}
